Everyone thought that after Hong Chengchou left Linqing, he rushed to Zhili, and went to Beijing to report his job and promotion. However, everyone did not expect that Hong Chengchou rushed north for a day and then turned east, but he went to Jinan Prefecture City. He was a Jinshi and served as a senator. This was a standard civil servant. He went in and out by car and sedan chair, and went on a long journey. However, Hong Chengchou was able to get a fast horse, and the servants were also riding horses, and he could also travel for a long distance. This was something that only martial artists could do.

Although it was judged that the Zhao family army would not do anything, Hong Chengchou still pretended to be north and then suddenly turned back. Through this change, it proved that no one followed him. Everyone slowed down and rushed to the Jinan Prefecture City.

Xuzhou attacked the capital in the Northern Expedition, forcing the court to negotiate, and then held a military parade in Linqing. The Shandong ground was not going to be the end of the world. Jinan Prefecture was also the center of Shandong Province. It was said that the person was panicked, but in fact it was very calm. Everything was as usual. It was not surprising that the Zhao family army allowed the government office to be retained, so no one wanted to change the current stable order. However, the officials issued fewer orders, and the officials and servants maintained their practice. When they were really unsure, they would often go to places like Yunshan for inquiries.

Even when there was no peace, the local officials and servants were maintaining it. Now the Zhao family army is not ready to interfere too much, so there will naturally be no ups and downs. But the people took a breath, and the various taxes and levies that were purely to fill their pockets have become less. The people who hosted are also considering their own way out. In the current situation, if you have the life to make money, you have to consider whether you have the life to spend it.

When Hong Chengchou, his servants entered Jinan City, they noticed that the people were coming and going at the city gate were quite lively. It was nothing that ordinary people came in and out. What really attracted people to pay attention was a group of carriages and horses. At a glance, they knew it was a family team of wealthy people and others. Seeing that the car was full of luggage and cargo, the servants followed the convoy and could guess that this was going to move. When the guards at the city gate discussed, it turned out that these were the families of officials in the city.

"Don't ask, haven't you seen people from Xuzhou on the other side of the city gate?" Hong Chengchou stopped his followers. In addition to the officers and soldiers guards inside and outside the city gate, there were more than a dozen capable men looking around.

"Did you hear that the whole King De family will move out the day after tomorrow. Xuzhou is too lazy to bother with them and let them leave by themselves."

"What? The day before yesterday, King Heng and his family had just passed by, and King De was leaving?"

The city gates are crowded, and the chats and discussions of the pedestrians aroused Hong Chengchou's interest. He simply walked slowly to hear what these people said. The princes and grandchildren of the Zhu family were everywhere, vassal kings, princes, and lieutenants below, etc., in a sense, they were also symbols of the Ming Dynasty. The vassal kings did not live on the fiefdoms, and the people had an intuitive concept of the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps they would feel sad? The tone was not like

"You're leaving well! Those bastards have caused trouble in Jinan. They don't pay for buying things, they can't get into other people's houses to tease women, and they don't have to pay for their lives. They go back to make a pot of wine today!"

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou laughed silently. This reaction was expected. Hong Chengchou had a lot of knowledge and records. In his impression, King De was considered a wise king. Although there was nothing outstanding, he had never heard of any evil deeds that disturbed the people. Unexpectedly, this was still the same in the local area. This reminded Hong Chengchou of when he passed by Jining. Some people there said that the whole family of Prince Lu's mansion was killed without any sympathy, but instead felt a little happy.

Hong Chengchou quickly stopped his smile. He looked at the caravans of wealthy families. No matter the master and servant looked at the faces of the master and servant, their wealth is the wealth of the Ming Dynasty. Now Shandong is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty. They don’t know how long their wealth can last, and their status also comes from the Ming Dynasty. How long can they last?

Hong Chengchou had already cultivated a civic temple in the officialdom. No matter how moved he felt, he could not see anything strange in his expression. His accompanying soldiers and guards also looked as usual. After heading north from Zhejiang and crossing the Yangtze River into Jiangbei of Nanzhili, he thought he would see some differences, the sadness of the country's decline, the sentimentality of the gentry and the people, the miserable life, and the rampant martial artists, all he saw was peace and prosperity, and everything was as usual.

Even in Shandong, Hong Chengchou went to Beijing to take the exam and then went to Zhejiang to take the post. He went all the way through the canal and passed by Shandong. Naturally, he knew what Shandong looked like. Compared to Fujian where he was born, Zhejiang, southern Zhili and northern Zhili were both poor and withered. However, this time he came, he obviously improved. Even the boatmen said that there is no need to be so nervous about sailing in Shandong now, and there is no need to worry about being stolen by people when they dock, because the bandits have almost disappeared, let alone the hungry refugees who are begging for life on both sides of the canal, and there is a sign of restoration.

The followers and the guards were initially moved, but Hong Chengchou got angry. Only then did everyone know why they were angry were not interested. They also knew that Shandong was poor and withered under the Ming Dynasty. After being occupied by the Xuzhou thieves, it began to prosper. It was really embarrassing to say.

The same is true for Jinan Prefecture. If it weren't for listening to people's discussions at the city gate and seeing the wealthy family's move, who would have realized that this Shandong provincial capital was changing hands? No matter how you look at this city, you can't notice that the thieves in Xuzhou are entering. You can't even feel that the Zhao family army's big reading performance was being held in Linqing, which is almost three days away.

"The officers should use this way." Whether they are willing or not, Hong Chengchou still had to sigh and admit it.

Of course, those who are local officials know what the matter is. The officials who receive the salary of the court in the booklets, no matter what position they are in the official office, they are like masters outside. There are dozens or hundreds of white servants gangs around them, plundering the streets, and working on lawsuits and disputes. When collecting rent, they are like tigers and wolves. Such official officials and white servants gangs are just making money and sharing their wealth, but they are not practical. There are any cases and disputes outside the city, and any natural disasters and man-made disasters. The gentry also needs to gather the people to do it.

In Jiangbei, Nanzhili and Shandong, Hong Chengchou saw three or five soldiers in the city patrol and observe the streets. Whenever there is something, he would blew the whistle or beat the gong, and inspect the various places would flock to him. The officers would walk on the streets every moment, and they would naturally go up to solve the problem. When there is a problem, they would naturally stop. There are often human forces on the streets, and when there is urgent matters, they would be able to adjust their power.

When he first saw this, Hong Chengchou sneered in his heart, thinking that these servants who are not in the process of editing are all worms, and they are famous bandits on the ground. When they go to the streets to inspect, they will definitely collude with gangsters, which will cause even more harm. At that time, extortion and exploitation will cause greater harm, and it will destroy your reputation in Xuzhou. It depends on who you will reason with.

However, Hong Chengchou stayed in Jining for two nights. The day before, he saw several servants who were patrolling the streets regularly, but the next day he had a new face. Moreover, the new man's temperament was obviously not like a yamen. Some of the military generals and personal soldiers were sophisticated. Hong Chengchou, who was interested, sent someone to inquire about it. This cause and effect was not a secret, and everyone on the street knew it well.

The Zhao family army found the local yamen through Yunshan Travel and other trips, asking the local government to ensure normal operation, and the government affairs that should be done should not be delayed. All the personnel at all levels ordered by the yamen were organized, leaving the power of backup motors, and the rest of the people went to the streets to inspect and go out of the city to do things. In this constant busyness, those who do their own things, want to take advantage of the situation, or even become more severe, were eliminated. Some were deprived of their status as the servant, while others were missing and then re-entered new people.

With so many servants and such a big place, the people of Xuzhou are so well-informed that they can know the movements on the streets, and those secrets cannot be hidden from them. Everyone is amazed at how many ears and ears Zhao Jin has raised, and they just look at it without any changes every day. But gradually, everyone feels that the streets are clean, easy to do things, and there are not so many things to worry about.

If you have any dissatisfaction, it is nothing more than that the money you should pay. The tax levies that were originally of many names disappeared, and the servants did not dare to extort them at will. But the money that was clear about Jingjie, fire prevention, theft prevention, public tents, etc. still have to pay. As long as you do business here, you have a bank account and a bank fee. If you live in a poor and rich family in the city, you have to pay a management fee. This makes many people scold you secretly. If you buy a house and live here, you have to pay a bank account. Is this still reasonable?

However, these silver rules are clear. If you receive your vouchers, you will never charge more. It is much better than the unreasonable levy and quarrels in the past. At least I paid less. Moreover, the original servants were the ones who collected the money, but behind it was the powerful Zhao family army. Anyone had to consider the consequences of not listening. The gentry and people in Shandong were different from other places. They had heard of the power of the Zhao family army in Xuzhou. They naturally would not touch the tiger's butt after hearing too much.

"If the officers are removed at once, there will be chaos in the city immediately. These local tyrants in the official position don't know what kind of storms can cause. Xuzhou is asking them to follow the rules of Xuzhou, and in this process, survive the fittest, retain the rules, and lay off the rules without the rules, and then put their own people in and mix them with sand."

"This Zhao Jin seems to be reckless in doing things, but he is very old."

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but sigh with his close companion, but there were a few thoughts that were just hidden in his heart and didn't say much. For example, Xuzhou didn't care much about the newly occupied civil servants and generals, and did not recruit them, and let you die on your own. Others saw that this was Xuzhou Zhao Jin and he didn't want to tear his face, so he still had to maintain it vaguely.
